“Go Monkey, Go!”

Om Sathguru Sri Seshadri Swamigal Thiruvadikkae

Hanuman said:

“Brother, I do not know much about the phase of the moon, or the position of the stars, I just contemplate Rama.”

Mangalore Raghunatha Rao was a devotee of Lord Rama. One day he went to pay his respect to Avathar Sri Seshadri Swamigal. Swami brought a big piece of stone, to hit him. Raghunatha Rao praying to Lord Rama bowed his head asking, “If it was Sethubhandan or Samudra Lankan.” (Dam across the sea). Swami threw the stone away and patted him nicely saying, “Monkey, go monkey.” From then Raghunatha Rao came to be known as Hanuman, Maruthi and he also became a devotee of Lord Hanuman.
